Problem: front bottom fender skirt hits car ramp

Here is what I use to get the cars up on ramps without hitting the skirt.
Additional bonus - you get another 3 inches of lift for more under-car
working room.

The ramp is located properly and kept from sliding with use of driven in /
cut off nails. You dont have to cut off the nails, but doing so will make
storage a bit easier. Plus, the nails wont get caught on things, or get
accidently bent.
The "helper ramp" is positioned and kept in place with two driven in / cut
off nails.

There are 3 seperate pieces to the gizmo: the "helper ramp", the steel ramp,
and the wooden 2 x 8 base.
The pieces come apart for storage by merely lifting top piece from bottom
piece.

The front wheels hit the helper ramps and start lifting the car before the
skirt touches the steel ramp.

Sometimes the rear wheels need a lift.
